With the Iii iti-.li Armies in Krance,
Mas ... Kvery Hriton, from Haig
down to the soldiers, is enthusiastic
over tbe way the Americans licked
the Hermans in the Montdidier re-
Kldn ££sterday morning. Wben 1
ontered a room filled with British
officers yesterday afternoon they
spontaneously I.roke out in a storm
of bandclaping. They had just
heard that the Americans had taken
Cantigny and it was their way of
.showing their pleasure.
"It isn't the size of the show that
. omits in that affair, but the spirit
hack of it." said one. "It Is both,
a threat and a promise.''
Ile meant it wa. a threat against
Hermans and ■ promise to the allies
of bigger things in the future.
I have known Cantigny well. It
i.s a village which boasts a chateau,
situated on a spur about IM feet
above tbe valley of the Avre, below
Montdidier. With Grivesnes and
Mesnll-St. Georges It is one of the
most, iinpoitunt points in this part of
the line.

The Hritish army '*-> eager[y watching the progress of the battle along
the Aisne. where already four Hritish divisions -tlie eighth-twenty-hrst
t wenty-flrtti and fiftieth—have measured steel with the (ieriiuni storm-
era, against the combined rush of
Hindenburg's fourth and sixth armies. The Hritish are ready to re-
jspond to any call Foch may make.
As this is cabled, Franco-British
counter measures southwest of Ypres
have practically restored tbe situation. Shelling continues along the
wide stretches of the Hritish front,
s large percentage of the shells being various kinds of gas. An enormous number of gas shells were
thrown into V'illers-Hr^pnneiix in
lone day.
Huge forces of German reserve*
apparently remain inside tbe Montdidier bulge within equal striking
distance of the Amiens front or the
Soissons-Kheims sector. There Is
reason, to believe these are backed
by tremendous quantities of materials of al) sorts and guns of all calibers held in places where they can
easily lie swung to the westward or
southward.
